So what about your tests?
Has SLI performance increased on Linux?

Only ONE Game?
Am I the only one to notice that they only used 1 game to compare Linux Vs Windows? Is this because someone got too lazy to test others (like the Doom3 they did the initial Linux SLI review with) or because the numbers did not promote Windows? I have just finished setting up my Linux SLI system - and will do some personal testing, and may even post some results... but this seems like very poor reporting to me.
If you are going to test and compare, Do it right. I have seen major performance differences like those just from going from XP to XP SP2! OR even from one driver to the next!
I am sorry that my first post on this forum is not a positive one, but no one else mentioned the obvious... ONE game is not PROVING anything.

I'm sure I saw the option just yesterday afternoon when I was creating a custom config (using menuconfig) using the stock configuration as a template (for precisely 2.6.22.7-85.fc7) I'm not sure, then if 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 does so.
Aaahhh... Now this is strange. The CONFIG_NO_HZ option supposedly turns the kernel into tickless (it is not present in the x86_64 kernel, there are still issues with tickless and x86_64), I don't know why is the CONFIG_HZ_1000 still set as 'y', though.Last edited by Thetargos; 29 September 2007, 05:19 AM.

I'm wondering why nobody uses tickless kernels...they should be included by most distro's by now, shouldn't they?

Fedora since Core 6 switched to 1000Hz kernel by default, however I'm not sure it uses voluntary preemption or low-latency Desktop preemption settings... lemme check:
Code:[gianni@Blackhawk ~]$ grep PREEMPT /boot/config-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y # CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
And, yup, it does use 1000Hz tickrate:
Code:[gianni@Blackhawk ~]$ grep HZ /boot/config-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_HZ=1000
